Written by Ruben Pijnenburg

This article offers a list of things you should and shouldn't do when working with creators on The Cirqle's platform.

Do's when launching the campaign and creating a brief:

  1. Set clear objectives and KPIs: Clearly define the campaign's purpose and establish measurable key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate its success.

  2. Provide comprehensive brand guidelines: Ensure the influencer understands your brand's voice, values, and aesthetics to maintain consistency.

  3. Include timelines: Clearly outline important milestones, deadlines, and the campaign's overall duration to manage expectations.

  4. Specify deliverables aligning with goals: Request specific content formats (posts, videos, stories) that resonate with your campaign's objectives and target audience.

  5. Add incentives: Offer appealing incentives to capture influencer interest and encourage quality applications.

  6. Encourage authenticity: Allow influencers creative freedom within the brand guidelines to ensure authentic and engaging content.

Don'ts when launching the campaign and creating a brief:

  1. Avoid micromanaging: Give influencers room to infuse their unique style and perspective into the content, rather than overly controlling each detail.

  2. Set clear of unrealistic expectations: Set achievable goals and expectations to foster a positive influencer experience and campaign outcome.

Do's for creator selection:

  1. Audience alignment: Choose creators whose audience demographics, interests, and values align with your campaign and brand.

  2. Select a higher number of creators: Increasing the quantity of creators enhances the likelihood of achieving success as more creators means more creatives and audiences to work with.

  3. Authenticity: Opt for creators who share authentic content that resonates with their audience rather than just chasing follower count.

Don'ts for creator selection:

  1. Ignoring audience fit: Avoid partnering with creators whose audience demographics and interests do not align with your campaign.

  2. Follower count focus: Don't solely base your decision on follower count; prioritise engagement and audience quality.

  3. Overlooking niche creators: Don't overlook smaller creators with highly engaged niche audiences that might be highly relevant to your campaign.

Do's for Content Approval:

  1. Alignment with brief: Ensure the content matches the guidelines, objectives, and key messages outlined in the campaign brief.

  2. Brand consistency: Verify that the content aligns with your brand's tone, style, and values to maintain consistency.

  3. Provide feedback: Provide feedback whenever needed to improve content alignment with campaign objectives and brand guidelines.

Don'ts for Content Approval:

  1. Micromanaging creativity: Avoid overly rigid approval processes that stifle the influencer's creative expression.

  2. Be scared to try something new: Don't be afraid to experiment with new ideas; have confidence in the influencers' abilities and professionalism.

Do's when the creator has posted the content:

  1. Amplify the content: Meta studies have revealed that the integration of BAU (Business as Usual) and Partnership Ads leads to a substantial 48% surge in Return on Ad Spend (RoAS). Based on this insight, we suggest you turn the organic creator content into a Partnership Ad.

  2. Track performance: The Cirqle platform provides and its performance dashboard offers you insights into the effectiveness and efficiency of your campaign and content that has gone live. Track the performance closely to make performance-backed decisions.

  3. AI Smart Recommendations: The Cirqle's revolutionary AI Smart Recommendations feature is designed so you can make more informed decisions, ensuring a higher success rate for campaigns while significantly reducing the manual effort required in decision-making processes, streamlining operations, and saving time.
